[QUOTE="Tracey167, post: 1141602, member: 23764"] Yes I agree with eddie1968 a child is a child until they reach 16 some day 18 now but they should be more responsible for thereselfs at 16 not 13 that is ridiculous with hormones racing there glucose levels can be very much unstable. My daughter does as much as she can herself but it's confusing for a child to work out there ratio of insulin in type 1 as she has different ratios for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well and I have to check and double check sometimes my workings out, and to expect a child to take it all on as soon as they reach 13. She doesn't fully understand how to do all the working out. Plus she sometimes has hypos with no warning signs so she can't go out alone she either had us her parents her sister or she has 2 good friends who look out for her at school and know what to look for.
